Conversion Cards - The original Pioneer LD-V1000 laserdisc player is not natively compatible with any other model,
making direct substitution impossible. Various products have been developed over the years to allow replacement/upgrade
of the laserdisc player.

Dexter is the newest product. No laserdisc player or disc is
needed with Dexter. The Dexter board is a drop-in replacement which poses as a laserdisc player and plays the video for the
game digitally, from a custom file format. Dexter accepts the original commands from the PCB through
the original interface cable. Dexter has been going in and out of production multiple times, per demand, via pre-order process only.

LaserCon is a laserdisc player conversion card that allows the game to use
newer supported Pioneer players. LaserCon is no longer in production.

The LaserAce conversion card allows the game to use a variety of different Pioneer and Sony
laserdisc players. LaserAce is no longer in production.

Interchangeability - Interstellar Laser Fantasy can easily be converted to Esh's
Aurunmilla by following the steps outlined below by Matteo Marioni and Brendon Zeidler.

Remove the Interstellar main PCB (set of three boards) and the laserdisc from
the Interstellar cabinet. Esh's Aurunmilla uses the Sound PCB, the Super
Impose PCB, and all the same wiring in an original Interstellar cabinet. Be
careful when hooking up the Esh's PCB to the wiring. Interstellar uses two
black harness connectors, but only one is used by the Esh's PCB. Use the
black harness connector that carries most of the wiring (it's a little bigger than
the other connector), and it should be inserted with the red wire (+ 5V) on the
right side. Pin 1 of the Esh's connector is GND and pins 3 & 4 are +5V,
so be careful before hooking it up. If you are not sure which wire is +5V on
the Interstellar wiring harness, a DC voltage meter may help. The 6-pin
connector on the Esh's PCB on the right, labeled "CN 1", is the
"PCB generated audio output". It goes into the "CPU IN"
audio connector on the Interstellar sound board. Finally, connect the Esh's
PCB to the LD-V1000 and install the Esh's disc.

There is also a conversion kit that allows Cobra Command to be
played in an Interstellar cabinet. This kit came with a conversion Cobra Command
PCB, conversion ROM set, and a standard Cobra Command laserdisc.

LD-V1000 Boot Switch - A simple inexpensive way to build a switch that issues a play command to the LD-V1000 or LD-V1001. See the
LD-V1000 Boot Switch page.
